Bird Removal

Treatments and Bird Spikes in Brisbane for Effective Bird Removal

In the nesting season, feral birds look for safe places to build their nests, and unfortunately, they often choose sheltered places on residential homes, businesses or school roofs.

If you hear the sound of wings and constant chirruping in your roof, smell droppings or find yourself constantly scratching from invisible mites, you may find you have become the landlord to birds. If you need bird removal in Brisbane, call us and we will install bird spikes in Brisbane and help evict the pesky birds for you.

The most common birds that we provide removal services for in Brisbane roofs are:

Indian Mynas – brown with a darker coloured head, yellow eye and beak. They are loud, aggressive and will kill native species and displace them from nesting sites.

Sparrows – Sparrows are small bird; the females are dull brown but male sparrows have darker brown banding on the wings and head. Sparrows prefer to nest in colonies with large untidy nests of grass, straw and feathers.

Starlings – Common starlings are one of nature’s songbirds and can replicate a wide range of sounds from whirrs through to songs of other birds. They have dark brown/black shiny feathers in Spring, are noisy, and prefer to roost in large colonies.

Pigeons – Feral pigeons are descended from doves and pet pigeons that have been released into the wild. Pigeons are usually grey, with a small head and short neck but can have a variety of feather colours.

A Word on Bird Lice

While feral birds create a major problem in terms of noise while they are roosting, they also leave behind a nearly invisible pest control problem which makes removal an urgent issue. Once the fledglings leave the nest; that is bird lice or bird mites. Bird mites are pinhead size and generally semi-transparent in colour, except when their body is full of blood when they may take on a brownish or blackish tinge. They have a relatively short life cycle, and can rapidly breed to plague proportions.

When the young birds leave the nest many tens of thousands of bird mites or lice are often left behind looking for a new host. The bird mites migrate to any humans living in the building, with bites causing severe irritation and intense scratching. Bird mites also give the sensation of crawling all over the skin, which causes severe psychological distress to many people. While they bite humans, they cannot survive without the presence of their usual host, the bird.

As there are a number of small insect mites that cause problems in Brisbane homes, you need the insect professionally identified and treated with the correct pest control treatment. If bird lice is confirmed, the only way to ensure effective removal, is to have the roof cavities treated after the birds have been removed and all the roof entry points repaired to stop further nesting. If birds are nesting on top of roofs their nest must be removed, lice treated and proofing or bird spikes installed to prevent them coming back.

We Can Bird Proof Your Homes through Bird Spikes in Brisbane

For effective removal Peter the Possum & Bird Man can supply and install bird netting, conduct chemical treatments and install bird spikes to get birds out of your building. It is critical to select the correct method depending on the severity of the problem as well as the species of bird.

When birds are roosting on ledges around buildings often the best solution is to install high quality bird spikes. These spikes prevent the birds from landing in the areas so they cannot roost or nest. The birds may then move to other areas nearby so spikes must be fitted to all potential areas around the building and for best results the spikes should be combined with a form of removal if possible. We have years of experience in effectively installing bird spikes and our servicemen are trained to use height equipment to install spikes on tall commercial buildings, churches and schools.

The bird spikes we install are effective to prevent birds roosting and nesting in specific areas and the spikes are unobtrusive so they blend in with the building and are not too visible from the ground.

If the birds are inside the roof, the team at Peter the Possum Man can assist with bird control by removing the birds and nesting material from the inside of your roof and then completing a bird lice treatment. We can even offer a full ceiling clean with an industrial vacuum after the removal.

As bird issues can be quite varied we offer free* quotes to investigate the issue and can then recommend the best removal and proofing, spikes or netting option for your building.

The service from both the original call during the Christmas break and the office response on their first day back was excellent. The service man telephoned and made an appointment and showed up on time and dealt with our bee problem efficiently and effectively and told us we may see a few bees that day but none the following day and he was spot on. Overall we received excellent service from Peter the possom and bird and bees man and their info on the website was also very helpful.read more

I have used these guys for a roof cavity vacuum and also for a gutter vacuum and have been happy with the outcome for both. They are a lovely team of guys who get in and get the job done, with no fuss, and minimal disturbance. They are also reasonably priced. I will continue to use them.read more

I received a call back promptly from Kenny even though it was a couple of days before Christmas. The guys were able to come straight after Christmas and were prompt and professional in fixing my bird nesting problem. Their assistance was very much appreciated.read more

After weeks of interrupted sleep we can all rest easy now the possums have been "locked out" of our roof. Multiple visits were required for the desired outcome but that was no problem as the roof space could be accessed from the outside of the house. Regular updates with what and when questions answered straight away. Now finally, possum free although the possum keeps coming back to see if he can get back in. All in all a great job done.
Many thanks,

I maintain the gardens at the Cultural Centre and occasionally have male turkeys mound building. This can cause safety risks with debris across pathways. Peter the Possum and Bird Man offer an excellent service. The staff are very helpful and professional and are on site within a day. They have great knowledge of turkey behaviour and always put the animal's welfare first.. They are back to pick up a trapped bird within half an hour to relocate them to their new home. So far 100% success on trapping my mound building males. Thanks for an excellent service.read more

Phoned Peter the possum man on a Monday, spoke to a lady who said they are flat out couldn't get there to Wednesday at the earliest and he would ring, never rang! We were sure we had a possum but the lady on the other end insisted it was rats as the indications pointed that way, still wanted them to come out, after realizing they weren't calling took her advise and put ratsak up there on the Friday and just had to kill a possum who was suffering from eating all the ratsak! Very annoyed as we love wildlife and this was the worst possible outcome!read more

I recently called Peter the Possum Man after a possum made its way down the chimney in a home I was selling. The property contained staged furniture and had been vacant for several days before we realised that the possum had been trapped in the house (poor little guy!). Though I called near close of business, Pete came out on short notice and sorted things out in a pleasant and professional manner. What a life saver! Thanks Pete and the team for your prompt response and great service.read more
